Is there any way to fit 2 OCZ SSDs in 1 Scythe Quiet Drive?

Fair enough, that makes a lot more sense.
Really though I doubt heat would be an issue, these things don't use hardly any power (maybe a few watts max). Why not try just cramming them in there and seeing how temps do? I'm assuming the drives support SMART and you can monitor temps in Windows. If not, you can use the finger-test to judge temps.

that's what I plan to do, just seeing if anyone had some thoughtsfrostedflakes wrote:Fair enough, that makes a lot more sense.

No, it doesn't show up in DTemp.
But with a rated power consumption of 0.5W idle and 2W load I'm confident that the temperature is well withing tolerance. My SSD is rated for 0-70C (most HDDs are 5-55C) and at 2W max.. At such a low heat output the aluminium casing would be heatsink enough, even with very little air movement. And besides, it's laying against the bottom of the case.

I only have a single SSD (Mtron), but am planning on getting a second in the near future. I've been looking at ways to mount them properly, and this is the best solution I've found thus far: http://www.raidsonic.de/en/pages/produc ... ectID=5054
Should work pretty well?
